Great Lake Swimmers’ (from Toronto) fourth album “Lost channels” is indie folk perfection.

The Organ’s (from Vancouver) one-and-done, debut album “Grab that gun” is a cult classic of the mid-2000s CanCon indie boom.

Live music galleries: Preoccupations [2016] (I got the idea for this series while sifting through the 'piles' of digital photos on my laptop. It occurred to me to share some of these great pics from some of my favourite concert sets from time to time. Until I get around to the next one, I invite you to peruse my ever-growing list of concerts page.)

This week I am featuring Montreal band Nobro and their 2025 single Doomtown. This track is an explosive party punk anthem that will get you moving. See them live if you get the chance and be sure to check them out wherever you stream your music.

This week I am featuring Nova Scotia band The Boojums and their track Wings of Fire from their 2025 LP The Boojums. This track is fast and raw with great riffs with the right amount of grit. Be sure to check them out wherever you stream music.

Live music galleries: Amy Millan [2025] Artist: Amy Millan When: October 17th, 2025 Where: Club Saw, Ottawa Context: I’ve seen Stars live five times and Broken Social Scene twice* but it had been quite a while since I’d seen either one. However, this wasn’t the reason why I really wanted to see Amy Millan, even though I do often lean towards the songs she sings with Stars.

Live music galleries: No Joy [2025] Artist: No Joy When: October 1st, 2025 Where: The 27 Club, Ottawa Context: No Joy is an act that I’ve been waiting to see for well over a decade. Indeed, I had planned to see them in 2015 when they were touring in support of their third album, “More faithful”, and they were hitting a now-defunct local spot that was even more intimate than Wednesday night’s venue*.

Myself at age 5 on stage in Toronto, 1976 with musicians Cedric Smith & Terry Jones

Perhaps I was always destined / cursed to have a life in the arts. Here I am trying to upstage Cedric Smith & Terry Jones of Perth County Conspiracy on stage in Toronto, 1976. Thanks to David Woodhead for the 📷 #perthcountyconspiracy #canadianindie #folkmusic #psychedelic #blackandwhite #tbt

A very wonderful 10th anniversary to our friends over at Flying Books Toronto! We wish you many, many more years of book publishing and connection in downtown Toronto and beyond.

Cheers to you and the power of #indiebookstores! 🎊 📚

Enjoyed at (sort of) Ottawa Bluesfest day 3 : Birds of Bellwoods
- Toronto indie rockers doing a stripped down, back to basics set out of a shed on Sparks street and it was a fun warm up to the main event
